Hello.
I decided to tell about random things I like for the last days/weeks...
Prince and Purple Rain
I liked Prince before, he truely is The Prince of pop music, but I saw the movie Purple Rain few weeks ago and I am absolutely in love with him. His fashion style, his moves, his voice...!! <3
Some days I woke up and thought that this is purple rain morning and I need to wear something themed.
And I am not the only one who loves Prince and wears prince-themed oufits. Jasmine-Denise is a great photographer and she's also very inspiring ootd blogger.
Depeche Mode (Live in Berlin)
I was in our local art-cinema to see the projection of their live concert and since I was there I can't stop thinking about it. They were always something like funny pop 80's music - you know, super cute young guys singing "i just can't get enough" and rubbing chickens.
But hey, they are masters of synths and I love the dark side of their music.
I Feel You is my absolutely favourite song. And I love to hear it live!
(and I hate to look at David Gahan's moves - he's absolutely anti sexy for me and his "sexy" dances are disgusting :D)
Striped leggins
My belly is growing fast and my whole body is changing. I can't wear many of my shorts which is the main thing of my wardrobe. I needed to find something more comforable than my usual shorts+stockings+t-shirt combinations. So I am mostly dressed in black and white striped leggins with longer t-shirt or dress or with skirt.
Something like this:
Great thing about my BW striped leggins is that even if you don't care about how you look (because you're walking a dog or whatever) , it's still unusual and alternative and you don't loose your coolness :D
But it's getting warm and I need to find a new dressing routine.
Suncream
I don't care about the brand or whatever. I am addicted to any suncream I own and I need a lot of it. Since I have a dog, I spent at least 30% of a daytime somewhere outside, sometimes it's a whole day and I absolutely hate to be suntanned, it doesn't suit me.
The curious incident of the dog in the nighttime by Mark Haddon
I found this book year ago on the street right next to the paper-bins. This, some Murakami and other books. I gave them to my boyfriend, cause the books were written in english and he, as an teacher, is collecting books in english. This one was somehow attracting me so I red it and I need to recommend it! It's a beautfull story about a little autistic (maybe it's asperger?? it's not stated) boy and it's written in first-person perspective.
Today Im gonna tell you about my artistic achievements.
(You can see my art tumblr HERE)
I'm 22 and I was studying graphic design + art since I was 15, so im in my field for a really long time..
When I was 15, I was just a young teenager who loves to draw crappy emo shits :D and I thought that graphic design is something I could do for a living. I was accepted to a really prestigious high school in Prague and yeah, I was learning about history of art, graphic design, figural drawing, surrounded by artists and free minded people for four years. Theese years were so awesome, the best memores I have comes from theese times. I learned to draw and all the basics, but I was lost when it came to "my own style".
old drawing
I graduated and I was immediately accepted on art college. But it was far away from my home and I was just so depressed there that I arranged transfer to another college in my home city. The problem was that everyone else was focused on something special, had his own style and I was just good at drawing. Now Im studying graphic-multimedial field in my home city, but it's under the Faculty of Education. Its not very good for "artistic reputation", but it gaves me a lot of time for developing my own style. I started to use all my knowledge of photoshop for illustrations and I like combine drawing by hand with computer graphic. AND after 7 years of studies I can finally say that I can draw hands!! yay!
I had an exhibition 07.01. this year in a Museum and I would like to show you some of my recent works I had there. I chosed "fashion" as a theme and I re-created models into a weird fat creepy monsters.
I would like to study illustration on prestigue art college in Prague, but it's too hard to get there, they accept just 2 people of a 100 every year. But I'm still very young and Im prepared to go throught hell for being a good illustrator.
Also, I would like to make some money with my illustrations and artistic skills and that's maybe the most important task I have. Im working on self-promotion and it's not enough, so I bought a tattoo machine to have some starting income.
Hello.
Since I stopped blogging two years ago, I changed a lot in many ways. I told you about music. I'm also more adult and different thanks to all the things I experienced.
I was really hungry for the free life of a hippie child at 2014/2015, my music taste was infulenced by free spirit and I learnd a lot at this time. I was wearing mostly dresses with colorfull prints, I just looked like happy hippie girl at this time..
End of 2015 and start of 2016 was mostly in punk way of dressing - but that's typical for me, always was and always will (i hope). I came back to black colour, weird accesories, torned tights... but still afraid of make-up things and of being too extravagant and visible in crowd.
Summer 2016 was important for me in the fashion way. I realized how much I love to look the best way I can and that it's not a shame to love fashion, to follow the trends you like, to collect shoes etc. I decided to build my style with a passion, to create and to look however I want to, no matter what society things. I also realized that it's fun to discuss fashion with my boyfriend, who is deeply interested with fashion photography.
I finally started to shoot my ootd's again.
I sewed this hooded weird thing!
...and I created theese leatherate harness :)
I can't shoot ootd's so often now and Im really sorry about it, cause I like to see how my style is developing and changing. The thing is that we (me and by boyfriend) moved out from our old flat and we should move into our new flat, but then we found out that the floor in there is absolutelly rotten and it's impossible to live there. We come to an agreement with an owner that he'll fix it. Everything is almost done, but we had to live for three months in my mother's place just with some important things. We'll move soon, but I still have just a few important pieces of clothing and no place for shooting.
The only thing I can do is to draw my outfits.
The last and newest thing for me is that Im not afraid of make-up things anymore. I love to wear red lipstick and Im also learning to do some magical tricks with liquid eyeliner on my eyes :D Its mostly terrible, because my hand is shaking and I just can't do it symmetrical, but I'm proud begginer!
I'm looking forward to our new flat, I'll shoot my ootd's in there! And I'm also curious about how I'll change in 2017 :)
Not sure how to start, but let’s take it chronological..
I’m 1994
kid and I was born in golden age of grunge. Kurt Cobain was freshly dead
and his fame was rising even more thanks to this. I was born to
“underground” family, my father was famous hardcore bass player, my
mum’s nickname was Patti Smith.
So that’s my start. I was raised in
classic rock surroundings. When I was in uterus, my mum was listening
Nirvana. The first music that I ever heard and even now, when I hear
Nirvana, it’s for one hand too
over-listened, but for another it’s still magical and usually when I
sleep and dream about some music, it’s Nirvana.
Kid years are mostly about kids songs and what your parents listens.
So basically they gave me great music basics. Patti Smith, Velvet
Underground, The Doors, Alice in Chains, David Bowie, Hendrix, Janis
Joplin, Joan Jett, Jefferson Airplane, …
When I was like.. 10 years old, I started to really like some music,
that showed me my parents and I also started with finding something new by myself.
I became a big fan on Pixies, PJ Harvey and System of a Down. Especially PJ Harvey, I also infected my cousin :D
When
I was 12, we had almost the same music taste with my cousin, so we were
exchanging music that we like and it was almost like some competition
“who will find better music”. We found that the music we like is called
“alternative” and “indie”.
I loved Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arctic Monkeys, I
remember that The XX was really unknown new band, The Kills and The
Dead Weather, The Libertines and Pete Doherty…
Okay. I was 13-14, when I met metalhead guy and he was big
inspiration for me. He was the only intelligent guy in my age that i
knew. I was never metalhead, but at this period I found some awesome music that is
connected with metal. Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, The
Agonist, Deftones, more Serj Tankian..
Okay.
Next. I was 15, dating 23 years old guy who liked “soft” music. I was
still into all these old thing I was listening (when you start to like
something, it’s all your life with you. You can’t throw away your
“indie” period. It’s still with you.), but I was trying hard to find
some music that we both can like. I also started to listen dark cabaret.
So the queen for me was Emilie Autumn, of course. Than Amanda Palmer, Birdeatsbaby, Nouvelle Vague, Vermilion Lies..
Soon I discovered Siouxsie and the Banshees. I was 16, maybe 17. And
with Siouxsie, Bauhaus. My aunt was always listening Sisters of Mercy in
car and I started to love it. I also remember listening Alien Sex
Fiend, summer 2011, and my father who said “oh i was listening this when
I was your age”. Joy Division. I was also more and more depressed and
this music was just the right thing for me.
End of my first relationship. I was even more
depressed, crying daily with Nick Cave’s music. I went to Finland for
erasmus. Cure mania started. I tried to find some good post-punk and
“goth” music. Cabaret Grey, Echo and the Bunnymen, Jesus and Mary Chain,
Killing Joke, Savages, Sex Gang Children, Silent Scream,..
I started to be happy about this new “genre” i found for myself and
my parents never told me about it /and they knew many of these bands!/
It was like… patch for my bleeding. I started to look ahead for my life.
I dated the sexiest punk boy from my city and I was so proud of it.
We were listening punk mostly, but we both liked also post-punk and goth
music. Again it was like competition - who will find better music. It
was awesome period, but we were too stupid and like.. .”proud punk pair”
that was together just thanks to alcohol. So we broke up. It gave me
great music to listen! Misfits, I studied classical punk bands, also Tom
Waits, Christian Death, Black Flag…
Okay. Than the short period with jazz lover. We were listening Nick Cave together and Morphine.
Again - too much alcohol in relationship.
Even shorter period of dating with awesome and sexy goth guy, but we
started to date sooner then we could really know each others and i have to
say that this person is great friend but I need a totally different
kind of man. But he showed me some awesome bands and also he showed me
how to “find” goth concert in czech republic and that’s it’s not so
weird to visit them.
I'm listening Belgrado, Masquerade and Skeletal Family thanks to him.
Okay. I was 18 and my music taste was almost where it is right now. I
was trying to find something calm but dark at she same time. Crystal
Stilts, AKACOD, White Fence, Thee Oh Sees. Sonic Youth times. Something
between alternative, dark atmosphere and jazzy sounds.
I started to date my current boyfriend when I was 19. I was listening
my “dark” music, but he showed me jazz and I liked it. Typical Miles
Davis. Lou Donaldson, Herbie Hancock, Lonnie Smith. Than also calm
music as
Air, Can,..
But I was tired of all these stupidly “happy” sounds and I showed some of my music to my BF.
We together started to like more electronic music. I like electronic
sounds in cold wave music, he is more into normal electro or techno.
Today I like dark electronic music. I like typical old rock
legends. I like old goth legends. But now I’m examining cold wave
and dark wave and I'm not so much into deathrock as I was.
So now… it’s all about Lebanon Hanover, Xmal Deutschland, She Past
Away, Linea Aspera, Pleasure Symbols, Absolute Body Control, Beta Evers,
The Soft Moon, Gazelle Twin, Haus Arafna, etc.
But still… you can’t throw away your old times. So sometimes I just
need to listen something that I was listening while my punk period or
indie period or metal period… :)
And I have to say THANK YOU to everyone who influenced me.
Okay
Last week I had my prom. Everything was just... idiotically crazy at school. Collecting money, training of midnight surprise and parades... stupid, stupid, stupid. It was, like an every prom, like the ball. That means - stupid program, fake faces, big dresses and miserable music. My only save was an alcohol. OH GOD, thanks for an alcohol!!
So it's here again. School after spring holidays...
My spring holidays were... fine. I dont know - I was with K. almost all the time. I wanted to go to pub with some of my old friends, but I'm just too shy to tell them. So, yes, It was a little bit sad and when you add my self-hate problems I'm having last time, I didn't have good holidays.
